Many developed world today learnt from their challenges and became better, Nigeria will be great if we all begin to invest in Agriculture, property, and moderate our expedure both as individuals and government.
Speaking on Church activities, Omitade explained that Churches are not above the law, hence they must also respect the rights of people around them especially those in the habit of organizing vigils with loud sound systems.
